Air ducts are the delivery mechanism for a home or businesses heating and cooling system.
Many times air ducts are referred to as the "lungs" of the home, meaning they breathe air in and
exhale air out. They connect to the furnace or air conditioning system and transport the conditioned air to the
living or office space.
A heating and cooling system is designed to pull air from the occupied
space and condition it to the desired temperature chosen by the thermostat. The way these system do this
is by using air ducts. Air ducts will remove air from a space by using a "return" duct and
deliver the conditioned air through a "supply" duct. Air ducts can be made up of several hundred feet of ducting
snaking through a home or business.
As dust and debris accumulates in a duct system, the air that travels through can pick up those particulates
and spread them throughout your home or business. As humans we are constantly producing dust. Add pets, cooking odors,
renovation projects and smoking into the mix and your duct system could dirty much quicker than most. This is why the
National Air Duct Cleaners Association recommends an air duct cleaning every 3-5 years.

Take a look at our full air duct cleaning process below!
Step 1: State of the Art Vacuum Truck
We want to provide you with clean air ducts and removing the dirt and dust is the first step. Our industry-specific,
giant vacuum trucks are amongst the most powerful equipment available for air duct cleaning.
Step 2: NADCA Trained Technicians
At Amistee, each service is completed by a NADCA certified crew to clean your air ducts. Our duct cleaning specialists are up to date with
all the latest processes and are equipped with the most effective cleaning tools in the industry.
Step 3: Home Protection
Any Amistee employee that enters your home will be wearing shoe covers. Work will not begin until all of the floors leading to the work area are covered in tarps and the corners of your home are protected.
This will eliminate any scratches or dirt on your floors or walls.
Step 4: Before and After Pictures
Seeing is believing with Amistee! We are proud of the work we do and that is why you will see stunning before and after pictures of your air ducts.
Step 5: Negative Air Pressure
By using some of the most powerful equipment in the air duct cleaning industry, we will create a negative pressure in your air ducts. The 8' suction hose will be attached to the supply (heat) and return (cold air) sides of your system.
This will allow us to pull all of the contaminants out of your air ducts and into our vacuum truck.
Step 6: Register Cleaning of Heat Side and Return Side
Our technicians will clean each individual register (heat) in your home to provide you the most thorough cleaning as possible.
Each run is cleaned and air washed separately as large amounts of air are pulled into the truck. Each grill and the associated shaft will be cleaned
in all of the returns throughout your home.
Step 7: Main Trunk and Plenum Cleaning
Each and every trunk and plenum are cleaned on both the supply (heat) and return (cold air) side of your system. We will
introduce our special air scrubbing tools into the ductwork and remove any contaminants from the system.
Step 8: Furnace Cleaning
The air-side furnace cleaning process is completed by cleaning of the boot (ductwork drop), filter box, blower compartment,
control panels, and combustion chamber of your furnace.
Step 9: Cap and Plug Holes
Each access point that was made to insert our special air scrubbing tools will be capped or plugged with specially designed plastic plugs.
This will ensure that there will be no air loss from these points.
Step 10: Seal Vacuum Points and Clean
Your vacuum points will be patched up with new galvanized access panels, which may be used for future cleanings!
All floors in the work area will be swept clean and your heating and cooling system will be turned back on.
What is air duct disinfecting?
Indoor air quality is always important for any home or business. But maintaining safe and clean indoor air can span even beyond a
professional air duct cleaning. Eliminate the unseen contaminants such as bacteria, mold and viruses for your indoor air by disinfecting
your ductwork with Amistee.
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning & Insulation uses an EPA-registered disinfectant that kills bacteria, viruses, mold,
fungus and mildew and leaves your home or business smelling fresh and clean. Amistee safely and effectively
handles every air duct sanitizing service with a level of professionalism Michigan homes and businesses can trust.
What is air duct disinfecting?
Air ducts are the delivering system for a home or businesses hot and cold air. They're designed to pull air from one space
and condition it to the desired temperature chosen by the thermostat. Because air ducts are pulling air, they're also sucking in
any particulate and debris along with it, including the things we can't see such as bacteria, germs and other microorganisms.
Air duct disinfecting is removing these hidden contaminants from your ductwork and your indoor air. Having the air ducts in your
home or business disinfected, deodorizes and keeps your indoor air quality safe and clean.
How is it different from an air duct cleaning?
According to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA), a proper air duct cleaning should accomplish a "total source removal"
of solid matter from your ductwork, meaning the built up dust, dirt, pet hair, pet dander, pollen and any other particulates should be
completely removed.
Disinfecting ductwork takes air duct cleaning one step further and kills the bacteria, viruses, and germs that could be recirculating through
your system.
How does Amistee disinfect ductwork?
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning & Insulation uses Benefect Botanical Decon 30 to disinfect ductwork. We apply the product by fogging it
into the air ducts. The fine mist will travel through duct system and disinfect along the way.
When should air ducts be sanitized?
We recommend an antimicrobial treatment any time there have been signs of water or mold growth in the air duct system.
The disinfecting product needs to be applied to clean ductwork, so it's a great addition to an air duct cleaning service.
Is air duct disinfecting safe for my home or business?
Benefect Botanical Decon 30 is safe to use in any home or business. Instead of using traditional synthetic chemicals, Decon
30 uses the same proprietary Botanical Active Ingredient Benefect is known for, which is Thymol. This product is made with whole
essential plant oils. The active ingredient in Benefect's products is recognized by the EPA s having no known adverse effects to
human health or the environment.
Benefect Botanical Decon 30 is made without synthetic chemicals.
There are no label warnings or precautionary statements.
No PPE is required when applying the product.
Homeowners and employees are safe to stay inside the home or business when the product is being applied.
Rinsing and wiping is not required.
There are no synthetic fragrances, dyes or bleach.

Jim and Joe called half hour before arriving. They did a great job. The air quality in my home is much better. I would highly
recommend Amistee if your air ducks need cleaning. The price was right and the service great. - Jerry Mulin, Westland MI 48185
The entire process was great. Had convenient hours and everyone I dealt with at the company was very informative and made sure I understood how the process worked. The cost was reasonable and
we noticed an immediate difference in the quality of air coming from air ducts/register throughout the house. - Dylan Bowleski, Berkley MI 48072
Great service. Rob and Jeff were very honest and clean. It's a waste of time and money if you pick someone else. My
recommendation is Amistee. Thank you. - Mr. Zidan, Northville MI 48167
The crew arrived on the earlier side of the three hour window they indicated, which was great. They were thorough, friendly and explained everything they were doing. They spent quite a bit of time getting everything right. When they finished they cleaned everything up everything completely. I can feel the difference
in the house already. The floor in the bathroom is not full of 75 year old grit from the vent. Great investment. - Sheri Pash, Oak Park MI 48237
I did a lot of research before choosing an air duct cleaning company and
almost all other companies charged by the number of vents and the quote only
included up to a certain amount with extra fees for any additional vents or returns. Amistee
charged exclusively by the square footage of my home, no hidden fees. What they quoted me on
the phone was exactly what I paid on the day of my cleaning. They did clean per vent, they
cleaned EVERYTHING! Every return, heat vent, trunk line, all of the ducts, took before and
after pictures. When Jim and his partner showed up they made sure to have on shoe covers and
put down sheets to protect my floors and did a thorough run through with me of everything they
were going to do and explained the entire process. It is very obvious that their priority is to
make sure their customers get an exceptional cleaning and have a healthier home than just making
a buck. I CAN NOT believe how much dirt and dust I was breathing in. My furnace runs so much better
already. I also received a personal phone call from their staff a few days later to make sure I was
satisfied with their service, it was so refreshing! I HIGHLY recommend Amistee for anyone interested
in having their system cleaned. I'm one happy customer! They also offer sanitation, dryer vent cleaning
etc. - Rachel Small, Brighton MI 48116
Who would have thought a search on Google would produce such amazing results. When I called to set the appointment the person I
talked to was pleasant and explained the details of my requested air duct cleaning and was able to provide a quote over the phone. The
gentlemen who visited my home for the air duct cleaning were both pleasant and professional. The entire job was quick and not very
distracting (if you don't count the noise which is to be expected). Both Devoinn and Darren where very well spoken they came, in
explained what they will be doing and then did it. The price alone was a big sway point but the quality of this companies employee's have
really left a good impression. I would recommend this company (and am recommending it) to people I know and hope by you reading this review
you use their service and do so as well. - Michael Hermut, Wixom MI 48393
First time using Amistee - saw that they had good reviews and they didn't disappoint. Appointment
setter was nice and friendly. I received call the day before to confirm appt, and another call that
morning that they were on their way. Chad and Rick were on time, super friendly, and gave me tips
regarding the furnace. They put tarps down and made sure everything was picked up before they left. Mine
had 50 years of build up as they had never been cleaned. Amistee cleaned the cold air ducts as well as they
heat and yes, they did show before and after photos. Would use them again, well worth the money. - Karen Banner, Canton MI 48187
Amistee is amazing. The trucks have built in high powered vacumms that actly
shread all that get in the way. The workers {Chad & Jake} were very polite and respectfull. They
made alot of noice but cleaned up after themselfs. lol. It's not very often now a days you can
find a good/reputable company Or employees. Amistee has both!! The cost was a bit more than
expected but in the end it was well worth it. They have 1 flat fee no matter how many cold/hot
air returns you have. The vaccum is uncomparable. The only worry I had was that I live 35Miles
from Novi. Most places charge you an extra fee for being "out of area". Not Amistee. The price they
give you is the price you pay - No hidden fees. Thank you Guys for making my house breathable again!! - Angela, Livonia MI 48154
Barry and Jason did an outstanding job! They were
friendly and explained everything before they did it. I
especially liked how all the vents were included and the
cost did not go up. - Karen Sloush, Royal Oak MI 48067
Josh and Rick showed up exactly on time and explained the process of cleaning our air ducts. Once they were at work they competently finished the job. They showed us photos early of the main dirty ducts and later showed us other dirt blown from the upstairs to the main ducts and then the cleaned spaces. We
felt our money was well spent since debris were removed from our system leaving us with cleaner air to breathe. - Donna Thiboda, Milford MI 48380
Thank you, Josh and Devoinn for doing such a great job cleaning the ducts in our home. It
was definitely worth it and we are very happy with your work. - Tammie Breston, Wolverine Lake MI 48390
I was so happy with vent cleaning your company did at our new home. It was a foreclosure and was just a wreck when we purchased it so we new it would need some extensive work done. Our contractor recommended you when the work was finished and I am glad he did.
The cost was inexpensive and the team was professional and experienced. Thank you! - Jill Peck, Ypsilanti MI 48197
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning provided me with excellent service from providing me with a quote to post cleaning information. To start, there were no hidden costs that you find with other duct cleaning companies, the quote was straightforward and included full service duct cleaning. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable and amiable. I have an infant and a dog, and they were accommodating to my family. They were quick and efficient. Post cleaning, Amistee provides
clients with photos to show you how your ducts looked before and after service. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Amistee Air Duct Cleaning. - Bill Londy, Redford MI 48240
The technicians were friendly and efficient. The
cost of the service did not change from the original quote over the phone and I will be using your company again. - James Pupper, Bloomfield Hills MI 48304
Moving into a new home , learning you have a little work to put in and what do you make priority ? Knowing the home was original owner and very old and never had the vents cleaned, and knowing that your daughter has special needs for cleaner air I I had to find a company that we could trust and would do a great job! I was refered by my parents who have used Amistee for the second time in 15 years! I found a coupon called them up in a week i had them done!

I even added on from a basic cleaning to
deodorizing and santizing my ducts as well as dryer vent cleaning! The cost was affordable and the most important the ducts air perpect ! Thanks!! - Christina, Lincoln Park MI 48146
The guys from Amistee were great and I'm very happy with the job. They were very conscientious about keeping my floors/carpets clean and wore shoe covers when inside. The cleaning took less than 2 hrs. The guys that arrived were friendly, professional and very respectful. I have horrible allergies and the day after the cleaning I woke up without a stuffed up
nose. This is wonderful! Would definitely recommend to a friend! This was worth every penny. - Sonesha Dehl, Whitmore Lake MI 48189
Chad, and Josh did an awesome job cleaning out the 40 years of crud in my vents. They were fast, helpful, clean, and didn't mind me asking a ton of questions and watching over their shoulders. It was fun to see the process, and
I wasn't aware how bad it really was. I look forward to saving money, and reducing the allergens in my home. Thanks guys, great work. - Cory Lastock, Troy MI 48098
Fast customer service with great air cleaning services. They cost more up front but the cost is what they tell you
so you're not surprised and the equipment is way better... you get what you paid for! - James Rohl, Ann Arbor MI 48103
Special coupon through Angie's List, so this was a good deal. Punctual and polite. Happy to answer many of my questions, as well. Glad

Barry and Jason did a wonderful job cleaning our air ducts and furnace after a kitchen fire we had a couple days ago. In fact, Amistee was so gracious to send someone out the same day I called, even though they technically were booked until the following week. Once I told them we couldn't turn the air on due to the fire extinguisher dust that was in the duct work and my severe allergies and asthma that were flaring up because of it, they immediately booked my home for that very afternoon. Barry was very respectful and thoughtful, as well. He helped me learn how to change my humidifier filter and advised me on some maintenance things I can be doing for my air system. Their high powered equipment (truck with negative pressure to suck out an elephant), thoroughness in cleaning all air ducts, vents, and furnace, along with the humidifier, as well as their kindness and the $30 coupon I found online make me
want to give a raving review for this company. All around a wonderful experience with this company in our time of need. Thanks guys! I can breath again!! - Yvonne Barry, Auburn Hills MI 48326
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning was recommended to us by a trusted heating and cooling company we've used for years. We recently had some renovations done and knew we would benefit from a duct cleaning service. Amistee was able to schedule our appointment quickly, they were incredibly courteous when calling to confirm as well as when they called to let me know the technicians were on their way the day of service. The technicians were right on time, incredibly polite and professional, and they completed the work quickly and neatly. I was very satisfied with the service
I received and feel confident recommending them to friends and family. I'm looking forward to the improved air quality for our family of allergy sufferers! - Jennifer Hensen, Farmington Hills MI 48336
First off, they called to say they were actually going to be 15 minutes early! There was a lot of construction done here recently, so the ducts were exceptionally dirty and dusty. They're so clean now that they actually shine on the inside. The guys were here for almost 2 hours and they were professional and polite the whole time. They were very clean, putting down drop cloths everywhere they went with the hose. They also took the time to explain the whole process to me. I would use them
again and definitely recommend them to others. In today's society, where "customer service" has become an oxymoron, this company is a breath of fresh air. - Ed, Dearborn Heights MI 48120
I would recommend Amistee Air Duct Cleaning to anyone looking for professional technicians preforming a complete cleansing of the home's ducts protecting them from contagions and mold, while ridding the home of dust and collected pollutants. The technicians (Jake and Tommy)
were polite/curtious/respectful of home and totally professional. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their home and invironment. - Gail Fohrer, Northville MI 48167
We recently had our basement remodeled and the amount of dry wall dust, combined with pet hair, was out of control. I contacted Amistee and they were able to schedule me within the next week. Rob and Rick were great, and arrived promptly at the scheduled time. They were very friendly and professional. They gave me a very accurate estimate on when the job would be completed, and thoroughly explained the procedure. They checked in with me regularly throughout
the process to let me know how things were going and how much longer they would be. They were extremely efficient. I would definitely recommend Amistee. - Erin Staff, Pontiac MI 48340
After doing extensive work in our house over the past several years we decided to look into air duct cleaning. After researching for competent companies, I contacted Amistee. The entire process from scheduling to completion was exceptional. Both of the technicians (Chad and Jake) were well trained and professional, keeping me informed of the work being performed. They treated our house with care, including our recently refinished hardwood floors. They followed up with phone calls and provided an e-mail and mailing
showing the before and after pictures of our ductwork. I would strongly suggest anyone considering air duct cleaning to work with this fine group of people. - Greg, Belleville MI 48111
What a great job Amistee did cleaning my ducts. I recently had a major renovation in my home and apparently my ducts
were filled with, drywall dust, pieces of cement, and a lot of other construction material. The techs were a pleasure to have in my home. Thank you Chad! - Laurie Wonstan, Westland MI 48185
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning and technician, Barry Stead, did a great job in very difficult circumstances. We are in the process of renovating a home we purchased and the previous owners had pets and had not cleaned the ducts. Add drywall dust, construction debris and other pollutants, and you have a very messy situation. Since the renovations are ongoing, Barry and Jeff had to avoid construction spots, cover and uncover vents, find vents that were hidden by stacked up furniture, etc. They went above and beyond the call of duty. Then they sent me before and after pictures of the ducts which showed the toxic conditions I was living in before they showed up and the very cool and clean condition that existed after the more than two hours they spent in
my home. Barry carefully explained the process and expectations and he and Jeff promptly exceeded them. I give them 5 stars and my highest recommendation. - Mark Bellow, Troy MI 48098
Devoinn and Josh were my service people. I received a timely phone call that they were on their way. They arrived timely and were very pleasant. They put on shoe covers so they wouldn't track dirt into my home. We had requested duct and dryer vent cleaning after doing some renovation. They explained the proposed services and assessed the furnaces, ducts and dryer vents. They determined that my furnaces & ducts & dryer vent were clean and didn't need cleaning as we had just had them done in the last 6 months (also by Amistee). They showed me photos of the ducts and
dryer vent that showed they were clean. I paid only a service fee and they left. I was very pleased with their honesty. I would definitely recommend them. - Sherri Marck, Royal Oak MI 48067
Josh & Jake were the technicians who came to my house to clean my air ducts after restoration work due to water damage. They arrived on time (early in fact) and were very polite. They
got to work right away and were sure to keep me clued in to each step of the cleaning process. I was very impressed with the service they provided. - Kathy Guillep, Franklin MI 48025
This is the second time Amistee has cleaned my air ducts. Since the first time 4 years ago, I completed a major kitchen renovation with the accompanying mess. My first experience with Amistee was impressive and memorable, so I called them again. It's pretty amazing in today's cultural climate to encounter a company with such consistent professional, knowledgeable, and respectful employees. I was treated as a valued customer. The work done was
superb. Each and every person involved in the service went the extra mile to make sure I was pleased with the process and with the result. I certainly am! - Luanne Adumin, Northville MI 48167
Recommended by the environmental company we used. Very professional. Very thorough. Explained everything. Friendly, courteous technicians. - Becky Winker, South Lyon MI 48178
I called your company because we recently had a small fire in our kitcen. Dan and Tommy were friendly and professional. They
explained everything they were doing. They did not waste any time, but got right to work. They cleaned up and left my home in good condition. - Ruth Wailin, Garden City MI 48135
Everyone was very helpful and professional. Laura was very sympathetic when I explained that we had water come in our basement and made
scheduling very easy and Chad and Joe were friendly, efficient and pleasant to deal with. Will recommend you to everyone. - Rose Mary, Fowlerville MI 48836
Excellent service.....very careful to cover floors and covered shoes. We recently had a fire in our home and had all the floors replaced so this was
appreciated. Barry and his counter part very friendly and did excellent job. Already gave son in law and my neighbor your business cards. - Diana Babitz, Chelsea MI 48118
I would recommend Amistee Air Duct Cleaming to anyone who need this type of service. They
even made sure to sanitize the ducts in case there was any mold from the water damage in our home. Absolute professionals. - Sam Valen, Ann Arbor MI 48103
Getting our air ducts cleaned was a positive experience. Chad and Matt were both very professional and put shoe covers on the second they walked into our house. They look great care in making sure the carpets were covered and none of the hoses/machines damaged our house. Once they left, we
could already tell that the smoke smell from the previous owners was gone. Overall a very positive experience and I've already commended them to others. - Caitlin Parse, Hazel Park MI 48030
The people were very nice from desk to workmen. There equipment is very impressive, a large vacuum truck is brought on site, which is exactly what we needed after the fire in our home. The workers were
pleasant and very clean even wearing shoe stockings to keep your floors clean. I would highly recommend this company and I will be hiring them in the future. - Danny Pierce, Livonia MI 48154
Amistee Air Duct Cleaning provides great service, the technicians were professional in making sure I knew exactly what they would be doing, how long they would be there, and what to expect through out
the process. It was such a relief to work with people who had dealt with mold issues before and knew what needed to be done. Great job Chad/Matt!!! - Sammie Stevenson, Lincoln Park MI 48146
We recently purchased a home that was previously owned by smokers and had done everything from painting to flooring in order to get the horrible smell out. One of our friends suggested we get the ducts cleaned and so as a final resort, we set up the appointment with your company and I am very happy we did. The guys were professional and thorough. Not only was I disgusted by the
amount of filth that was in the ducts but I am relieved to say that the cleaning officially rid the house of the awful smell. Thank you a hundred times over. - Jerry Matters, Redford MI 48240

Alex B and Greg S came to our house for duct cleaning and did a great job!
They were here on time and kind to our dogs. One of our neighbors may also be requesting service in
the near future from Amistee! They were neat, clean and clear about how things would be done and how
long it would take. Thank you for the great service!
– Pamela D.
Rob and Mike did such an incredible job cleaning the air ducts in my household!
Not only did they remove a bunch of mystery junk from the return vents, but had me wondering why we
didn't get these vents cleaned sooner. Very quick, clean and efficient service. Cannot recommend them enough!
– Cate T.
They were on time, performed their services professionally and made sure all my questions were answered.
Very reasonably priced!
– Glenn., Barry.
Really happy with Amistee service from calling to make the appointment, to the completed service. Ryan and Travis were friendly, polite
and explained the process. They were good with all the animals too (the noise is a bit traumatic for pets). The after
photos were amazing. Overall, super happy with this experience.
– Ryan M., Travis.
Kyle and Mike showed up right at the beginning of the arrival window which was very refreshing. Not having to wait around was very appreciated. They were extremely
friendly and courteous and took their time both explaining the procedures and during the air duct cleaning itself. True professionals!
– Kyle

common material for air ducts is galvanized sheet metal. Other materials for air ducts could be flexible tubing called

Why should air ducts be cleaned?
Because air ducts are pulling air from spaces and delivering the conditioned air back to those spaces, they are also sucking up
any particulate or debris and pumping it back into the same space. It is not uncommon for an air duct to accumulate several pounds of
dirt and debris. When these particulates enter the air ducts they may fully cycle through the system or stay lodged in the air ducts, only
to come lose months or years down the roads. Debris can be made up of different types of things such as ...
Mold
Mildew
VOC's
Carpet Fibers
Pet Hair
Dead skin cells
Pet Dander
Construction Debris
Smoke Odor
What is an air duct cleaning?
Air duct cleaning is the service of cleaning the inside surfaces of the ductwork and restoring
them back to their original state. Air ducts designed to be free and clear of dirt and debris, allowing air to pass
through safely and easily.
A proper air duct cleaning as stated by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) is to accomplish "total source removal,"
meaning the debris should be completely removed and every piece of ducting should be cleaned.
Amistee uses the most common and the most powerful piece of equipment for air duct cleaning, a vacuum truck.
This piece of highly specialized equipment is a self-contained truck that is fully equipped with all the proper
tools to clean air duct systems.
The vacuum trucks that Amistee uses ranges between 16,000-17,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) in suction power.
That's equivalent to the suction power of 425 upright Hoover vacuums! The trucks pull all of the dirt and debris
in ductwork to a collection bin inside the truck.
Amistee also uses a portable piece of equipment to clean the air duct of a home, business or large commercial building.
The average CFM ranges from 2,000-5,000 for a well maintained piece of equipment.
Keep in mind, there is a range in quality and suction power of portable air duct cleaning equipment. If you choose to have your
air ducts cleaned by a company that you feel while provide the best value for your money, make sure that their portable equipment is
high-efficiency particulate arresting (HEPA). HEPA filters can capture 99.97% of all debris greater than .3 microns, which is the size of most bacteria.
It's important to remember that all pieces of the air duct delivery system (air ducts) must be cleaned to provide you with results.

at their history with past clients and recent jobs that they've done. If they do good work and are proud of the work they do they should be happy to connect you with
one of their recent customers.
Do they have any complaints on the Better Business Bureau (BBB)? Ask if they have referrals from past customers in your area or from
customers who have similar duct configurations? Check to see how long they have been in business. Ask to see if the company is licensed
and insured. Do other companies refer the particular air duct cleaner? Make sure the price they are quoting you will not change and if so, why.
